[Chrysler300] markings on "L" brake drums

["The Richardson Family" <therichardsonfamily@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all:

I am replacing the wheel studs on my "L" and most of the parts stores have different studs listed for different brake system manufacturers.  I believe the differences are in the type & dimension of the "knurl" that actually anchors the stud into the drum.

They list the identifier as drums that are "stamped", or not stamped - and/or by the manufacturer as being Budd, Kelsey-Hayes, or Motor Wheel (w/two different stampings).  Also referred to is whether or not they are 2&3/4" or 3" front drums.

My question is - looking at my drums (on the car) I see no stampings anywhere on the outside.  Where is the manufacturer stamping, and (stupid question time) do I confirm brake width by measuring the friction surface?  or is there a more foolproof way?  or are all "L's" 3" front brakes?

I can just go remove them and try to match w/ pictures but, I kinda wanted to buy them first, and then do the R&R all at one time.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
